We provide therapeutic horsemanship, educational, recreational, and sports programming, including vocational/prevocational opportunities to at-risk youth, youth, and adults with disabilities. Our mission is to teach adults and youth with disabilities how to ride and care for horses.
• We see our students with disabilities succeed scholastically, physically, and mentally. We help at-risk youth wi

th court-ordered community service understand that education is worthwhile and work can be challenging but truly rewarding.
• Students at risk of dropping out are "dropping back in”. We provide volunteers the opportunity to be of service while immersed in an environment of inclusion and compassion.
• Our volunteers grow by meeting new people, especially if they are new to the area, strengthening their ties to the community, and participating in fun and fulfilling activities. We provide well-trained horses with a rewarding job in their golden years.
• Our great herd includes seven mares and two geldings, ranging from 9 to 25. This includes four trained cutting horses, two dressage horses, one trail horse, and two endurance/racehorses.

Our Story

Living Life Without Labels

Dream Catcher Stables Teaches people with disabilities how to ride and care for horses *students with disabilities succeed scholastically Helps youth with court ordered community service understand that education is worthwhile and work can be hard * students at risk of dropping out are "dropping back in" Provides volunteers the opportunity to help, understand, and create an inclusive community *families are healing, schools are becoming safer places Gives well trained horses a rewarding job in their golden years *currently a hear of 8 mares and 1 gelding, ranging in age from 8 to 32, including 4 trained cutting horses, 2 dressage horses, 1 trail horse, 1 endurance/race horses, and one family riding horse.

Meet the leader of our herd and “head equine therapist”. 2019 Certified Horsemanship Horse of the Year, at the age of 34 S**t IS the Herd boss. With a bit more gray than before and joints that prefer to move a bit slower, she allows the younger mares to share in “boss” duties. However, there’s no mistaking whose really boss.

So what IS special about a 34 year old “mutt” named S**t? She can sense when her athlete is about to have a seizure. Yes, even before we or the athlete has a clue, S**t will carefully inform us that there is a problem giving us those precious extra seconds to keep every living being safe.

A gift from a Vietnam veteran who did not want the horse caught in a divorce, we were told that she was named for her color and that, when she figures she’s done for the day she starts limping. So let’s go with the name first -- coming from Oklahoma, we allow as how she was probably named by either a wheat or corn rancher. Both of those crops have a fungus called “smut”. To meet our horse, S**t, is to understand the color of that fungus. And yes, when she arrived we were told about the limping. Yes, S**t did try more than once to quit work early. Every time we watched carefully. She would always switch feet and once she even tried switching all four feet. Needless to say, we had her number and YES we were very careful to be certain that she WAS faking.

So now that you have heard a horse tale, how about a few human tales that are a bit more recent.

One of our families went to see the horse races one evening. Our athlete now wants to be a jockey. Mom and Dad tried to explain and we did our part too. At his tender age he is too tall and weighs too much to be a flat race jockey. There’s a lot he needs to learn to be capable of riding a horse at that speed, but he is willing to learn and we are willing to teach him to ride safely at all gaits - walk, trot, canter (walk, jog, lope). Then he will become a volunteer with us and learn about daily horse care. After all of that, if he still wants a career with horses, we’ll gladly help him find a suitable job.

Two brothers came to ride. For one, putting on the helmet was traumatic, mounting was okay, and movement of any kind was an instant get off. The other enjoyed the entire experience. Their second day we put the eager one up first and let the reluctant one slowly pet, then put on the helmet, then sit on the horse. When he pulled the reins the horse backed one step. So we asked for 2 and then for 3. Then we asked for them to walk forward and ever since that young man is happy to ride. Now he comes, rides, and even stays mounted longer than his brother.

The last story is about a volunteer who lost himself, found our program, and is enjoying teaching our most challenging riders. Along the way he is finding himself and planning his future career which includes Dream Catcher Stables Inc.

Volunteers are always welcome. Dream Catcher Stables Inc is an ALL VOLUNTEER PUBLIC CHARITY. No one gets paid to work here. All monies go to take care of the horses, maintain the facility, and pay required and necessary insurance. Athletes are accepted regardless of their ability to pay. Funding comes from the public, businesses, and a few grants.
